Mastodon runs as a rails api with a react frontend. Last time I discussed this people mentioned it was the worst of both worlds and I get the argument. But doing things that way means nearly every fronted dev can work with their favourite patterns and frameworks. I love that they can debate replacing create-react-app and i do not have to care beyond saying "as long you meet the openapi spec". Moreover, everything you've described along with most of what has changed recently in the ecosystem goes away. I don't have to care what is happening to hotwire, or the asset pipeline in general or around scss gems being deprecated. |

And this is a big problem in my opinion. We should decide the stack that better solves the problem, and then hire people that are happy to work with that, not the other way around.
It's like saying you're in the business of putting screws into walls, but you do it always with hammers because most people like to use hammers.
